I'm a beginner who's looking to purchase a few simple wooden model boat kits.
I've seen on this forum that there are dozens of build logs for the various dory models made by the likes of Model Shipways, Midwest, Bluejacket, etc.
I'm curious to hear what you guys think is the most well-rounded entry-level dory kit on the market based on quality of wood and other materials, clarity and accuracy of instructions, ease of construction, etc.
I am willing to pay a premium for a model that is well designed and accompanied by excellent instructions and good quality materials, so I am especially curious to hear your thoughts on whether you feel the greater cost of the Bluejacket dory kits compared to the Model Shipways and Midwest kits is justifiable because of these reasons.
Thank you for your responses.
